Yala Mobile Camping inside the National Park is situated in Katagamuwa. This campground features free private parking and full-day security. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the campground's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax. We initially thought this booking would be similar to other standard camping sites, but we were delighted to discover that this is genuine mobile camping inside Yala National Park—a truly unique offering. We understand that securing the necessary government permissions is a lengthy process, often requiring at least a week's advance notice. Although we made our reservation just one day prior, the team worked hard to coordinate everything. While this meant we had to wait a few extra hours at the main gate, the effort was absolutely worthwhile, providing an amazing, lifetime experience deep in the wild. We enjoyed a full-day and a half-day safari, and during both excursions, we were lucky enough to consistently spot leopards, elephants, and a wealth of other animals. The entire experience was incredibly rewarding, and we are 100% satisfied with our choice. Thank you to the dedicated team for taking such great care of us during our stay inside the park.

This campground with garden views has tiled floors, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower, bidet and a hair dryer. Towels and bed linen are offered in the campground. The property has an outdoor dining area.

The campground features a sun terrace and a picnic area. This was a delightful homestay in a small cabana adjacent the family home. I travelled solo a few days and decided to stay here, and am so glad to have found this gem. From the warm welcome, to the amazing food, to the lagoon safari to getting to know the lovely granddaughter who had a few days off school - I felt safe & secure with my comfort being their priority - I felt spoiled!! A heartfelt thank you, and I hope to return again.

Towels and bed linen are featured in the campground. The accommodation offers an air conditioning, a heating and a private bathroom.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the campground. A beautiful cabin 3 minute walk from the beach where turtles come an lay their eggs every night. It’s forbidden to go alone one the beach after 7 at night since then the turtles will arrive. There is a Turtle watch center just by the beach where 25 volunteers work to support the turtles and all tourist can join the watch from 7:30 when it’s getting dark. It cost 2000 rupees if they find a turtle and free if not (which is extremely unlikely). The beach was private with few tourists

Boasting a garden and views of river, Mallara RestSafari (Cabana & Family Restaurant) is a recently renovated campground situated in Malasnegalewewa, 42 km from Udawalawe National Park. This campground features free private parking and free shuttle service. The campground has family rooms. Had a wonderful experience staying at the RestSafari. The place is set up in a big area where one can rest comfortably, and looks out on the jungle, where many animals (mainly buffaloes, peacocks, elephants, varanes, foxes) pass by during the day/night. Owners (and staff) are taking good care and are very friendly & relaxed. Nice campfires and surprisingly few mosquitoes. Slept really well in the cabana (great experience!) in a nice, natural breeze, and my room had a nice viewing spot to lay down and look out over the jungle area. Possible to take safari’s from here. The food/drinks served were also real good. Happy to have stayed/rested here. For directions: many (if not all) busses from Ella/Wellawaya to Matara/Tissamaharama will pass close by the RestSafari. Get off at 22 Junction (bus drivers know). It will cost about Rs. 200-350, and from the Junction you can take a local bus, tuktuk or arrange something with the RestSafari.

Situated in Yala, less than 1 km from Situlpawwa, Kulu Safaris - All Inclusive features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a terrace.

There is a seating and a dining area in all units. Beautiful stay that transported me away to nature. The camp was stunning, with amazing outdoor meals, wonderful trails, and comfortable and well appointed tents. Beyond the site itself, everyone there was so caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. The safari was AMAZING- fun, educational, and we were lucky enough to spot a leopard and even a jungle cat. This is thanks to a keen eye and ability to know where to go, which was also away from the really busy sites so it felt much more private and enjoyable than expected.
